Object Spy for Internet Explorer

Qualitia Object Spy is an Internet Explorer plug-in embedded within IE window at the bottom of the page. It allows you to add objects in the repository for developing test cases or tasks. You can edit the objects if there are any changes to the document structure and at the same time validate changes to objects.

Object Spy supports CRUD operations to manage objects.

It is expected from an Automation tool that it should simulate the manual user actions required to test a case. For the simulation to be accurate, the automation tool needs to perform actions on objects. Objects are thus the first entry points in functional test automation.

The topics in this section explain what an object is, types of objects used in Web-based applications, what you should know to identify objects correctly, and various situations where object identification can become challenging.
